Not quite sure what I think so far. It's a little confusing but I'm interested to see where it'll go so I guess I'll stick with it. Cool looking school uniforms though.

Ugh...

Well, this wasn't what I was expecting at all after reading the description. I mean it's not terrible, I guess. I don't think I'll be continuing it though. The whole thing just reeks of overdone cliches.

downloaded it just to kill so free time and check it out.

Didn't know what to expect but it seems pretty interesting at the moment.

Read the initial synopses on the show talking about a boy "haunted" by a childhood friend's a ghost and felt eh lets see what its about.

Does seem a little like they jammed a whole lot into the first episode with little background on what is really going on in the story, but definetly didn't expect a mecha story... lets see where it takes us.

They covered an awful lot of stuff in the first episode, not such a fan of the style of animation though.
still haven't decided if it will be any good, wil have to watch the next episode.

I didn't initially plan to watch this, but randomly decided to today. XD It was an okay beginning, I guess, but I'm going to continue watching it for now and hope that it gets a little better from here on out. I like the OP/ED, though. :x

Well I'm glad I watched it really liked the OP/ED like everyone else. Has some good characters at that too. The only thing that irritates me is how our main guy has this one strand of hair that is like twice as long as the rest of his hair and is all curly, but other than that I like everything else. As far as I see it from the OP animation these mech/demon like monsters are like combined forces of tech and magic which is really cool. And somewhere they called the ghost girl a projected apperaence, so maybe there's something to that. So this will definetlly be an anime I'll be watching

The flashbacks reveal boy had contact with box and with girl ghost before his accident and that he made a hard choice to save her. The assumption is that the girl's present state is a result of that choice.

so there r people who believe misao is not really a ghost

Referring to projected existence? Then yes it may be but who would want to be stuck in body when they can go out of it?

i think this series has potential, as long as every episode isn't as chaos filled as this one was it should be fine. i thought it was a pretty good way to start off personally, little bit of everything going on. definitely liked the ghost thing and how people were like WTF when he was talking to no one.

watched the raw and just quickly went through the subbed...

...I'm really not liking this much as a lot of people are...to me the anime is very average. I'll give it a few more episodes to see if it gets better. If not...then I'll probably drop it ><

But yea, the first episode didn't quite catch my attention. Atm, I'm giving it maybe a 6-7/10...and I don't usually give that score a lot ><....

The only thing that's keeping me from dropping this is for a sentimental odd reason: which is the seiryuu for tomo, miyu irino XD I'm totally biased because of syaoran's voice!! If it wasn't for that....I probably would've dropped this anime like a hot potato. But I'm gonna see how it goes in the next few episodes...I see a bit of potential :P

If there is anything else that may interest me is the story behind misao...is she really a ghost?

not a bad first episode.

It gave a little background story, laid out whats happening and a glimpse of whats to come with a bang.

Although I not a huge fan of wimpy amnesic characters, the mechs and ghost girl make it this series interesting.

I was actually really surprised to see the gundam. ^^'' The first part of the episode led me to believe that it was a more fantasy themed... (like magic and whatnot). Still, looks interesting though...

This first ep has me feeling that this show is really, really generic. Not the worst thing in the world or anything, but I would be pretty disappointed if I'd had any expectations to begin with.

I was completely confused throughout the whole thing.
And for once, I was ok with it.
At least it was a little interesting imo.
I won't drop the anime unless it just gets more confusing the next 2 episodes.

It was pretty interesting start. I was kind of annoyed of the whole generic school setting thing and blah blah blah. When I first heard what this was about I didn't really think that the ghost girl would be very important. For some reason, I just figured they wouldn't explain her and it'd always just be like "there's a neat cute little ghost girl that follows him around and cracks jokes", but it seems like she's going to be explained.

By the way, I loved the ghost girl. She was so cute and amusing, made the episode for me. Throughout the episode when they showed that woman telling Tomo that the choice he made is going to be difficult, I assumed it had something to do with the ghost girl. I didn't think it'd have anything to do with saving her and the whole "projected existence" thing, maybe it means she's not really a ghost.

Pretty good episode but very mutch confused me like hell...
I mean why is the girl Misao by his side and why is she a spirit?... those thoughts kept crossing my mind when watching also why do in some scenes no one thinks it's weird that Tomo is talking to himself it's kind of obvius to -.-
But good when I continued the episode I only got more intresed in it, expectly because of the 2 mysterious girls I forgot there names thought ^^"
Now I saw this episode until the end I was even more surprised that this is a mecha anime didn't expected it but ok I didn't read what this series was about anyways I just watched it because it was new xD, hope this will turn out well and more understanding can't wait until I see the second episode to.

After hearing that the first episode turned out completely different to what everyone was expecting, I was even more determined to start watching this.

There were a couple of cliches in the episode that bugged me, but overall this was an interesting first episode. This does have potential to be great, but I'm keeping my expectations low right now. After finishing Druaga, which also had potential but ended up disappointing me, the generic stereotypes I saw throughout the episode isn't a good sign.

Misao was cute though, and "miko tsun-tsun heterochromia girl" looked weird.

This.
As I read that his friend's ghost would be following him around, I thought this was supposed to be a drama series though and through, but this far it seems not.
Too many random occurrences for me this far. Hpoefully things will be explained in the second episode. Higushi is so annoying I want to snap him in half.
Also about asking a girl "where did you get those clothes" seemed really strange, since she has no physical presence or whathaveyou, but maybe I'm just nitpicking.

Guessing what's going to happen: That jelly-mecha is driven by Misao + Tomo (ectoplasm-drive?) and later proves to be a key into "resurrecting" Misao (I'm going with the theory she died, but i have no idea, really... A coma, perhaps?). I sure hope I'm wrong because it really doesn't sound very exciting.
